Property was well-appointed and had everything you would need to feel at home

We loved our stay here. It was a little slice of luxury and we would highly recommend our friends to stay here and we certainly would return. The apartment was crisp clean and the bed and linen were amazingly comfortable. After a long day skiing we loved the bath robes and slippers provided and felt truely rested. Overall 10/10 experience.

Had a one bedroom apartment with a wonderful view over the lake and towards the mountains. A 5-10 minute stroll to town and a lovely spacious unit. Enjoyed the spa pool outside gazing toward the hills in the evening. Splendid.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

눉To many rules (especially around the spa) every time I picked up the key I was asked if I knew the rules and one girl asked if I could tell her what they were. ?? To be honest every thing was great apart from this. It took the shine off the trip.

눇Great facilities and a good location only a short walk to town. Great views of the mountain and lake.

Anita

눉The management claims that the studio room is rated 5-star accommodation, despite the following features:
You must haul your luggage up two flights of stairs by hand from the car park. There is no elevator.
The studio room is exceptionally small and cramped. The only way to fit two suitcases (on the floor) is to move the furniture.
The only seating in the room is two desk chairs. There is no room to put these chairs where you can see the TV, except in the doorway to the bathroom.
When we discussed these issues with the management, we were offered an upgrade to the one-bedroom appartment for an additional $150; this was not acceptable to us. We asked for a refund, and were told that this would only be possible, conditional upon a written guarantee that we would not place a negative review.
We informed the manager that we would definitely be writing a negative review, regardless of any 'sweeteners'.
The manager then decided to offer us a free upgrade to the one-bedroom appartment, which we accepted.
The one-bedroom suite, in contrast to the studio, was very comfortable, spacious and well-appointed.
When we made our booking, we did not require a full appartment as it was our last night in New Zealand and we would be leaving early in the morning to catch a flight home. We were mistakenly confidant that the star-rating would ensure that the studio space and amenities would be of exceptional quality.
It is clear that each studio room is simply an optional second bedroom to the adjacent apartment. While the star rating applies to the appartments, it misrepresents the space and amenity of the studio, and does not justify the high tarrif which the management currently charges.

눇Very clean. Contemporary style.

눇The staff were super friendly and helpful. We could check in earlier that the usual time which was great. Handy location to the town and restaurants. The facilities and the views from the apartment were excellent

눉Noise from the adjoining unit was a let down. I cannot get over the building of these places that are so nice overall but they cut corners on sound insulation... and trying to find reception was tough. Some better signage please.

눇Off street and covered parking. Bed. Bath. Well equipped. Ladies at reception were friendly and welcoming.

Lisa

눉Bed was a bit soft for my liking but that's just me. Did t realised there are studios at the back of your apartment so share the same door somewhat apart from one door you can lock. Maybe some more sky channels for long term stays and people who want to stay in at night gives them something to do.

눇Great location very close to town and despite the small hill still great as that's not the properties fault. Clean, stylish apartments with good layout love the wood floors and gas fireplace and bathroom. Great view of mountains and lake, would look great in winter.

Rowena

눉It was more expensive than anywhere else we stayed, but then the quality was superb. I guess you do get what you pay for.

눇These apartments are stunning! we had an amazing view of the lake and the mountains. The bed was really comfy, each bedroom had an en suite and the whole apartment was just very well appointed. Far and away the best accommodation all holiday! I could not recommend the apartment highly enough to be honest.
